What's makes you think he's got courage? It doesn't take courage to attack the Judge's daughter on social media. It doesn't take courage to dox jury members, and let your terrorists threaten them. It's a sign of lack of courage, and of guilt that he's doing everything he can to delay.

Also, we have drones now to take out the remaining 0.5% to 5% of missiles missed.

Nah, I need too many people to pray and not pray for a penny. And with opportunities like that, how would you prevent the control group from praying for a penny and not telling you about it?

The study is impossible to design.

You need something that people don't want for themselves so that you know that the control group won't cheat. Like peace in the middle east or the end of famines in Africa or South East Asia. I assume from the way that's not better now after the better part of 100 years that no one has prayed for any improvement in that.

That by itself doesn't really mean anything, if the parts are supposed to be able to handle such stresses

Damage adds up linearly. If you have to jump on it to get it to fit, you're maintenance schedule for that part will be behind its actual damage, and you risk the part failing prior to being replaced.

I can certainly imagine there is regulation, which would prescribe for every part of an airplane how installation should happen, but since some planes have millions of parts that seems unlikely.

The damage to every part down to every rivit of a plane is modelled to produce the maintenance schedule.

Zero hedge comes with quite a lot of spin.

The law wasn't voted down, it was altered so that solicitation of a 16 or 17 year old wouldn't be a crime in the case where the perpetrator didn't know and shouldn't have reasonably known that the victim was under 18. It's still rape or statutory rape to fuck them.

No this law is only about solicitation, which is currently illegal, but the penalty is only 2 days to 1 year minus one day. And it only applies if the perp knew or should reasonably have known that the victim was a minor.

Actually having sex with someone under 18 is still statutory rape in California. (Unless you're married to them). And if the perpetrator engaged in violence, physical force, threats, coercion, fraud or if they invoked a fear in the victim of retaliation or physical harm against themselves or another person, then it's still rape.

So, does this mean that pedophilia is now legal in California, as long as the sex is paid for, and it isn't actually a forcible rape?

No.

If you have sex with someone under 18 who isn't your spouse in California, you commit statutory rape, and will be liable for 2,3 or 4 years in prison, depending on the age difference.

If they were coerced by violence, duress, threats or fraud, (as I imagine would generally be the case in the case of child prostitution), then that is rape in California, which can get you up to 13 years in prison if the victim is a minor.

What the law would have done was to make solicitation of a minor, whether or not the person knew it was a minor, punishable by 2,3, or 4 years prison. Replacing a current less than 1 year sentence, that only applies if the person knew, or reasonably should have known that they were a minor.

It was modified to not include solicitation of 16 and 17 years olds.

Tbh, it's not obvious that solicitation of a minor should be a crime if the perpetrator didn't know and it's not the case that they reasonably should have known that they were soliciting a minor.

GDP is not an accurate barometer for prosperity.

No, it's a proxy. California does earn a lot of money though. And they pay their way, and covering the arse of those failed states. For every $1 paid in taxes, New Mexico gets $3.26 in federal funding. That's failure.

The homeless population per capita in Texas was 81 people for every 100,000 residents, compared to California’s 439 people.

Homeless population per capita is not an accurate barometer for failure of a state. It just means more people want to be there than there is available housing. Which refutes the premise of this thread.

I'm not cherry picking. The scientific conclusion is that it's zoonotic.

But your welcome to link me to some papers that conclude singing else.

Saying something is "obvious' isn't evidence. So it won't convince anyone.

I'm aware that the FBI came up with a different claim than the scientists. However, the science considers the genetic evidence.

Approximately 13,000 islands around the world have increased land mass over two decades, disproving claims of climate alarmists about rising sea levels by Questionable in environment

According to NOAA it is 1 foot in the last 100 and 6 inches of that have been in the last 30 years.

10-12 inches in the last 100 years for the US is not the same as a foot globally. Neither is it incompatible with a global mean rise of 8 inches over that time.

They go on to claim another foot in the next 30 years. This will not happen.

How do you know it won't happen?

They claimed that New York would already be under water.

No one claimed that.

They claimed that the Arctic ocean would be ice free by now.

One paper, looking at the huge drop in sea ice in the summer of 2007 projected that the arctic would be ice free by now.

"Hur dur global warming exists" is not a valid excuse.

"Hur dur sientis lighd" is not a valid argument.

It does not excuse their lies.

Science progresses by correcting errors. No one is lying. It's called finding things out.

It absolutely does not justify drastic and harmful government policies, including those that simply cost a lot of money.

Adaptation is more expensive than amelioration. So we should spend money to ameliorate. Because not doing so will simply cost a lot of money.

Global warming is not an existential threat, it is an inconvenience at best.

This is from the same school of thought that brought us "disproving claims of climate alarmists about rising sea levels" by misreporting a paper showing that sea levels were reducing the land area of islands, but some were expanding due to human land filling.

Sorry if I don't trust you, but the denialist industry puts out a lot of lies.

Controlling CO2 will not slow down global warming in any meaningful way.

I don't trust you any more. What's your best proof of that?

Except that the it is so people have been caught lying in the past

This paper was by Yuxin Zhang,Hao Li,Dong Li,Xiyong Hou,Peng Guo & Jiawei Guo. Can you point to where they have been caught lying in the past, please.

and the it's not so people are relentlessly silenced and slandered.

Funny you should mention slander, having just implied that 5 people have been caught lying in the past, without providing any instances. But who do you claim has been silenced and slandered because they said that the sea level was not rising?

The vast majority of sea level rise happened millions of years ago.

I'm not sure what that even means. The sea level rises and falls primarily with the amount of ice sheet on the planet. What happened "millions of years ago", and how are you accounting for sea level rise to say that "the vast majority" of it happened then?

That kind of sea level rise will never happen again because the vast majority of the ice caps have already melted.

There's about 80 metres of sea level rise left in the ice caps. That would displace nearly a third of the world's population. Surely that's of some concern independent of what happened millions of years ago?

The sea level rise propaganda claims that catastrophic sea level rise will happen in the near future

Can you link me to an example of "sea level rise propaganda"? I don't have a sense of "catastrophic sea level rise" or what you mean by "near future".

But when you call out that propaganda everyone starts shifting the goal posts and claiming they did not say that.

In the current example, a study showed that of 13,000 islands nearly 1000 were shrinking and nearly 800 had grown, the growth mostly due to human land filling.

And this has been reported here as "Approximately 13,000 islands around the world have increased land mass over two decades, disproving claims of climate alarmists about rising sea levels".

Explain again which side is pushing out propaganda, because I'm not seeing your point of view.

But an inch over 100 years is not significant.

Sea level rise was ten times that thirty years ago. It has accelerated about 30% since then. Currently it's rising an inch in between 7 and 8 years.

She's pretty bad. Rachel Maddow is only slightly less extremely left biased as fox news is right biased, and she's only slightly more credible. Anyone with a record that bad needs to employ some fact-checkers.

She's probably doing less damage than fox by having a smaller audience though.

The Haitian nation is reeling under violence and lawlessness as criminal gangs assert dominance over the island, with the impotent and corrupt government able to do little to stop them

The only way to halt the descent into violence and lawlessness, is elect a president who is facing four criminal cases, which he is dealing with by setting his mob on to justice officials and witnesses, and tried to overthrow an election with a violent insurrection. (◔_◔)

Various. Biased towards Christian.

and were they in the state of grace?

I don't see that that was controlled for. So there would have been both amongst the people praying.

I agree that its stupid, but it is the conclusion implied by your comment.

If you think someone showing love for their neighbour by accepting and supporting them is confusing love and sex, you it follows that you think that accepting and supporting your neighbour is sex rather than love.

It is powerfully stupid. But that's what you have brought to the discussion.

  1. What is the black cube that you claim is "at the UN"?
  2. How is the black sun worshipped, given that you claim the cube is worshipped in the same way?
  3. You're link between constitutions and free speech is poor reasoning. Lots of bodies have constitutions that don't assure rights of freedom of speech. For instance the Hart House Chess Club's constitution doesn't mention free speech.

There is a black cube at the U.N.

What?

It's is to be worshiped as the black sun.

How is the black sun worshiped?

The U.N assures no rights to the freedom of speech, as it has no constitution.

Having a constitution isn't what assures rights of the freedom of speech.

The United Nations calls its foundational treaty its "Charter". It serves the purpose of a constitution.
